Good.
So we'll find out soon enough quien es mas macho.
Doesn't deserve to be a PPV event, though.

I might go.

I wasn’t impressed with either one of their last fights, especially Morrell’s, so hopefully he looks better this time around, they are all entitled to a bad night.

A fight to determine AB's next victim.
good stuff.

A fight to determine AB's next victim.
good stuff.

So true. Neither one was impressive in their debut at 175 so in all likelihood, you are right. It is the next victim, after a rematch. Turki will pay more for a rematch with Bivol so that will be the next fight.

By the way, I cannot believe these two guys have agreed to fight each other. In this day and age, contenders like this avoid each other like a plaque until they have made enough money first.

Both guys looked brand new to light heavyweight in their last fights, that being said, if the winners manage to face Artur Beterbiev in 2025 the light heavyweight division is hot again.

Not everybody looks spectacular in their first fight at a new weight. That said, I'm stoked for this.

I’m excited about this one, for sure. As people have been saying, neither fighter looked good in their last outing — but they weren’t looking across the ring at each other, either. I think these guys will be fired up for their much-anticipated meeting. Kudos to both for making it happen. They could’ve danced around the prospect indefinitely, as so many others do.
